  • __Ellisse L. ☆*:.。. (@__Ellisse) reported

    overwatch comp matchmaking is broken as ****, a loss is a loss so it’s whatever, but why am i the highest rank on my team and the only gold against plats and a diamond player? i thought it’s supposed to match role to role rank

  • sleepychrissie Chrissie✨ (@sleepychrissie) reported

    @BlizzardCS Overwatch chat isn't working and the unmute button doesn't work, any ideas on how to fix it?

  • OWAnonymous_ Overwatch Anonymous (@OWAnonymous_) reported

    Quickplay leavers wouldn’t be as big of a problem if overwatch actually made it possible to requeue. I’ve left dozens of games purely because my internet stutters for 10 seconds and I literally can’t rejoin

  • _Miu_Pan Miu 💛 (@_Miu_Pan) reported

  • I_AM_CR0W CR0W (@I_AM_CR0W) reported

    @Def_not_Lucky1y @B3ARDedBandit @FoVeS_FPS CoD prior to Ricochet had major cheating issues. Now they’re pretty rare and I never had a cheater problem in games like Overwatch, Halo, Siege, Battlefield, CSGO, or Valorant even when the servers were PC only.

    Overwatch 2 server will disconnect you from the game, then suspend you for it.

  • Lunyaee Lunyae (@Lunyaee) reported

    @VikingViktor123 Idk been playing overwatch a lot lately, surely been more fun than valorant, my problem is more than only a few of my friends play

  • StrongWolf85 StrongWolf85 (@StrongWolf85) reported

    My only issue with Skull Merchant so far: the dbd community is making so much of a big deal about her being attractive because "lawls". yes, she has a nice ***, go take a cold shower before you cause a nontroversy and the devs pull an overwatch on us and ruins it.

  • miamyriad Mia Myriad | (EN Vtuber)🏳️‍⚧️💕 (@miamyriad) reported

    Throwing it out there, I think Overwatch is a lot more Moba than shooter now and broken ability combinations are strong again, almost like they were in OW1. So I think if you only play aim intensive dps, the game's gonna suck majorly.

  • Noctxm_ Noctem (@Noctxm_) reported

    Too many updates.. Overwatch last night, Rocket League, Valorant and Fortnite today... I have trouble making choices anyway this is too much what do i play

  • CoachNad3 CoachNad3 (@CoachNad3) reported

    What is a problem or glitch with an overwatch character that many feel is actually just a mechanic of the character? #Overwatch2

  • vampire_food Give me money for gacha rolls (@vampire_food) reported

  • d0njuandemarco Yas (@d0njuandemarco) reported

    Anyone else having lag issues on Overwatch?

  • Tomy_ow Tomy (@Tomy_ow) reported

    @mizliz_ Overwatch have only the PVP and having a ****** up matchmaking is like saying there is no game at all. There is no fun to play against people that don't belong in your rank. And it's been 5 months like that, Blizzard saying "it's fix" every 2/3 weeks, to see that it didn't at all

  • ShrktaiX Shark #TeamSelena (@ShrktaiX) reported

    @MetalheadBabee @Rabbitlnbound Who am I? Someone who plays Overwatch, nothing more. I was just asking who she was because I genuinely didn’t know. I don’t know how that’s rude, but if that’s rude, then you must have some serious social issues. Read the room babe.

  • okeechoBree Jacob (@okeechoBree) reported

    Overwatch is such an embarrassment, you can queue for 8 minutes for a game, you can queue into the defeat screen of a game, you can get banned for their server issues, stunning
